Day labourers in an affluent Los Angeles neighbourhood have claimed they were paid to remove dismembered body parts from the home of a man now accused of murder.
Samuel Haskell Jr, the 35-year-old son of a once-powerful Hollywood agent, was arrested last week on suspicion of murder after a severed torso believed to belong to his wife was found in a dumpster in Encino. Surveillance video led detectives to Mr Haskell Jr’s home in the coveted neighbourhood of Tarzana, where officers had responded just hours earlier after workers reported seeing what appeared to be human body parts inside trash bags.
